It is true that the group does work to "ensure that all women are able to exercise their reproductive rights and responsibilities," which puts them among advocates of abortion rights. However, according to Factcheck.org, Guttmacher "provides the most highly respected statistics on the sexual health of women and men. Its figures on abortion are widely cited by the media as well as by groups on both sides of the political aisle." <ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.factcheck.org/2010/04/factcheck-mailbag-week-of-april-6-april-12/|title=FactCheck Mailbag, Week of April 6-April 12 - FactCheck.org|date=2010-04-13|work=FactCheck.org|access-date=2018-10-26|language=en-US}}</ref> +To claim that the Guttmacher Institute isn’t affiliated with a political party is false. Although their mission supports reproductive health, which also includes abortion, the organization c<ins>laims to be</ins> nonpartisan. The data released by the Guttmacher institute is<ins> conducted by the former president of Planned Parenthood. This fact alone adequately challenges that their research and data can be considered as</ins> respected,<ins> or</ins> considered accurate<ins>. Even though they now claim to be a “nonpartisan research group” that is entirely separate of Planned Parenthood</ins>,<ins> tax filings in years past have proven otherwise year after year. Tax filings show well over $2 million dollars have been paid directly from Planned Parenthood to Guttmacher</ins> and<ins> were listed as an “Independent Affiliated Organization”. So the truth is supported by the fact that there are tangible tax documents that have been filed and confirm the two are indeed members of the same body, therefore Guttmacher is NOT a “nonpartisan research group”. Instead it’s a group that was started by Planned Parenthood, funded by Planned Parenthood, and more specifically started by the former President of Planned Parenthood, Alan Guttmacher. To call the Guttmacher Institute a “nonpartisan research group” is completely false. The proof that Guttmacher’s data is clearly biased is proven by many facts including tax records filed in the past. This biased data is unfortunately</ins> used in media<ins> outlets and portrayed as absolute truth from evidence-based research</ins> and by supporters of different political ideologies. <ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.factcheck.org/2010/04/factcheck-mailbag-week-of-april-6-april-12/|title=FactCheck Mailbag, Week of April 6-April 12 - FactCheck.org|date=2010-04-13|work=FactCheck.org|access-date=2018-10-26|language=en-US}}</ref> ==See also== '
